This month's challenge is inspired by the brilliant quattro funghi racchetta. that dellavecchia submitted for last month's challenge. Make a new pizza this month in a unique shape with some kind of purpose in mind (aesthetic, functional, culinary, military, etc.)

I borrowed from my German background for this pizza tart. I thought maybe some folks would spot it's heritage. Speckzelten (speckplatz) was a tradition in my house growing up. I know my mom and grandmother didn't use a homemade BBQ sauce and Manchego cheese in theirs but I think they might have liked it. Don

Lol Norma, I knew you would do a heart shape pizza. looks great! Another funny thing, my local supermarket stocked up on heart shaped pans, today there was not a single one on the shelf. Don

Don,

How did you know I would do a heart shaped pizza. Thanks for saying the heart shaped pizza looks great. That is funny that your local supermarket ran out of heart shaped pans. I guess everyone is getting ready for Valentine’s Day.

I've been wanting to do a pan pizza for a while, so I'll use the monthly challenge as an excuse to eat a rectangle. This is the Sullivan Street Funghi Pizza - really easy dough to make, and nice crispy (and oily) bottom. Altered the classic pie by substituting tarragon for fresh thyme. Cremini, onion, salt, and red pepper flakes. Good all the same. Lots of <3 February!!

These two pies are my second submission for “Not Round”. These are fried pizzas that the dough was fried first, then dressed and finished in the oven. The dressings for these fried pizzas were Les’ sweet sauce, two blends of mozzarella, a little white cheddar, Capicolla, sausage, homemade ricotta, and lastly sprinkled with thyme and stick oregano from Larry.
